Accommodates diverse use cases and effectively meets customer requirements

AI agents need further improvements. AI agent technology in agentic process automation is still evolving. We have only scratched the surface, and there are many potential use cases yet to be explored. As technology advances, I believe it will enable us to implement more comprehensive automation solutions. Document Automation has issues related to speed. When I compare Document Automation with IQ Bot, IQ Bot is faster than Document Automation. My understanding is that they are still evolving Document Automation, and this issue of slowness will be resolved in the upcoming .35 version, so we are good with that. They are working on signature identification and validations for handwritten documents. Currently, we are able to extract data out of scanned but digital images, but there is still scope for improvement for handwritten documents.

Architect at Netcracker

Provides a complete workflow from testing to production and can handle a million concurrent requests

The user interface is very good. Once you understand it, it's easy to define rules and do any configurations. It comes with an embedded WebLogic application server, which you have to deploy automatically. Once you run the given binary, it will automatically keep everything on the backend. You'll have to create an instant database, and maintain or manage it based on the rules engine. After that, your system is ready to test. The most valuable feature is the complete workflow through the BPM, from making it available as a generated code based on the backend, deploying it in the test environment, and then going to production. Throughout the testing, everything was good. Many customers are interested in the rules engine. A lot of requests pass through BPM because it's integrated with a lot of other applications or sub-applications.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Many tasks take a long time for a person to do them. Automation Anywhere enables us to do those jobs in less time."

"We have a lot of clients who use AA bots in their own process. Automated that are automated require less human input. AA bots save lots of time, increase efficiency, deliver accurate output, and provide consistency which improves the overall function of processes in different domains."

"The advantage of Automation Anywhere is that you don't necessarily have to come from a programming background."

"It gives us the capability of leveraging our investments in different applications. I can use Automation Anywhere to tie a number of applications or processes together, without having to do in-depth coding to automate something."

"In Automation Anywhere we liked the drag-and-drop and easily stitching the recording of mouse control and keyboard controls."

"Anywhere contributed to increased efficiency, reduced manual efforts, and notable time savings across various processes."

"We are using it to backfill a lot of our resources who are retiring, so we are hiring less people as we go."

"Using the Automation Anywhere University, you can go and train yourself to be an expert in the tool."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"It is easy to use in a business processing suite."

"The benefit from the tool is we can develop it quickly and easily use it for middleware services. We can publish the services so other applications can consume them. This is providing us some reusability and a type of security."

"One of the most valuable features of Oracle BPM is the workflow itself. It is quite intuitive."

"The processor management system is quite fast and scalable. We have 10 developers using this solution and it supports 25,000 users."

"The default Workspace does not meet all our needs and sometimes you need to create your own custom Workspace."

"The Workspace is a full, rich application where most users can find what they want. It shows them a list of their work."

"We have more than 800 distinct applications in our IT landscape. We had enough scalability and okay development cycles, and it has been enough to cover our backup operations and order management systems."

"Our company is based around Oracle processes. It provides a lot of flexibility in its processes."

More Oracle BPM pros

Cons

"I had an issue lasting for the better part of three years, and it was quite severe."

"The accuracy in Web Recorder needs to be improved, defective outputs found most of the time(not sure if is a website side issue)."

"I would like to see them continue building out documentation with more video-aides."

"More structured and unstructured data collection will be a challenge. While we have the IQ Bot tool, the success rate at the beginning will be lower. It will be around 20 to 30 percent at the start because you need to train the bot at regular intervals. Of course, this depends on the data. This area could use be improvement."

"There can be some options to connect to the database directly where we should be able to add some data."

"The feature, which might be interesting for companies that don't already have an identity management system, was a bit tricky because I would have preferred the system to directly rely on our corporate identity and access management system to manage the bot's credentials."

"We would like Automation Anywhere to have a way to run a capacity check on machines and show us what is available."

"I am looking into IQ Bot, but I wanted more out of it. I am dealing with a lot of scanned documents. I want to see if Automation Anywhere can scan client emails for us because our clients send emails with some incidents and issues. We want to see how automation can automatically do the processing and create some structured data or automate bots to get work done."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"The solution's licensing cost is very high."

"Their Case Management set of features is severely lacking and should be a target for immediate improvement dealing with unpredictable processes inside of organizations."

"The default Workspace does not meet all our needs and sometimes you need to create your own custom Workspace."

"It would be good if they could provide some additional connectors or an application developer environment for microservices."

"Existing APIs in the product need to be fine-tuned, made more robust and flexible for adoption."

"Overall, the engine and the UI both have to be made lighter."

"You have to maintain it manually."

"Though Oracle BPM is a stable solution, it's very heavy, so this is one area for improvement. If Oracle can make the components of Oracle BPM lighter, and if the deployment for the solution could be easier, that would make Oracle BPM better."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I feel the cost of licensing is very high for the A2019 version."

"Additional costs will be for the machines and the number of machines that you are using. You can deploy virtually as well as on physical machines. In both the situations, you do need to allocate a certain budget for securing the machines and where the software will be installed and running. The machines cannot be used for anything else, because only a certain bot can run at a certain time. You need to be very particular about your scheduling of running the bots, and while the bot is running nobody can use the machine. You cannot have an agent working on a machine and the bot running in the background. It has to be completely dedicated. Then there are the network bandwidth requirements and space requirements, which are additional costs apart from the licensing and software costs. The developer is also going to charge you for their coding time too."

"The pricing is fair. My company is part of a big organization, so the pricing is very advantageous."

"The pricing and licensing are definitely moderate to costly but easily recoverable by achieving ROI quickly."

"If we talk about the automation RPA. it definitely has worked very well for us. I'm talking about giving good savings, about more than 180 FTE savings, after implementing more than 200 plus bots. It has worked well. As an organization, it has supported us very well, and also for our customers."

"The cost is affordable, which makes an easy barrier to entry for the RPA market."

"Our annual licensing costs are around $100,000 a year."

"There is a free trial so that they can get an overview, and there are different licenses that are very affordable and can suit every business model."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"The pricing is very expensive."

"We received the product packaged into the Oracle database solution."

"As with all Oracle products, the licensing over VMware is an issue."

"Oracle is good, but they're still expensive compared to other vendors."

"The pricing is significantly high, particularly for Brazil where fluctuations in the exchange rate between the dollar and the real can further increase the cost of Oracle licenses."

"This solution is very expensive. You are charged per license and an additional 20% for support."

"I don't have information on the exact cost of Oracle BPM because a different team handles that, but it's pretty high. Oracle products are very costly. I would rate pricing for Oracle BPM three out of five. Though the pricing is high, the solution has a lot of features."

"It's pried high, this solution is expensive."
